miscarriages

Have you ever had one? How did you know for sure? Without a doctor? This is why I ask. For the past several weeks, I've felt 'off' and the other day, I got what I think was my period except I literally went through 1 tampon and 1 pad, in 3 days. And it was earlier than normal. My cycle is about 36 days and very normal. Thus showed up after 30. The past few days, I've had some weird pains(not period cramps) and then today I passed what looked like fetal tissue. It was weird. We weren't trying to get pregnant and we've been condoms but a few weeks ago, he said it felt like something was wrong with the condom. How far along do you have to be to pass noticeable fetal tissue? I don't know anything about miscarriages and I know this is the relationship board. I didn't want to get berated on hot topics. This is the second most active board so here I am. And no I'm not going to a dr for a suspected mc...any helps would be appreciated. I'm asking out of pure curiosity.

I miscarried but never passed on my own, had to have the procedure instead. I would honestly go to the doctor if I were yo. If you did miscarry, everything may not have passed and that poses risk for infection, which if not treated can be very serious. Or you may have experienced what's known as implantation bleeding and you may actually be pregnant, so, either way you should be seen by a gyno ASAP! Please don't take this situation lightly, only a doctor can give you proper information and care! Good luck!

That sounds more like implantation bleeding to me. I had this for 3 days then didn't get my period after 3 months like I usually do and found out I was 12 weeks. I would go to the doctor. If your not sure and don't want to make a fool of yourself just state facts.. That you lightly bled for 3 days and passed some kind of tissue, you have pains that aren't normal cramps etc. I'm sure he will connect the dots.

You may want to see a doctor. If you are miscarrying, they can check to see if everything was released or you could end up having major complications. I don't think it's implantation bleed. I thought that would occur when your fertile. Not a few days before AF. HTH. The ladies in the grief and loss board are very helpful.

I have had 2 mc the 1st was very early about 5-6 weeks I didn't even know I was pregnant I had server cramping then I realized my period was late I started to feel sick then got very heavy bleeding that lasted several hrs. You probably won't see noticeable fetal tissue till about 10 weeks

Have you taken a pregnancy test? I've had 4 mc -1 was late stage and it was extremely painful and there was a lot of blood. The others were btwn 5-6 weeks, less pain, slightly heavier no noticeable tissue some large clots. Take an early test and wait. If you have no more bleeding take another test in about a week

My first mc was around 9 weeks. I bleed like crazy and I normally have heavy periods. The day I passed the fetus I felt cramps that were 10x worse, then felt a sudden release and there was the tissue like a small egg. I knew it was the baby. The second I don't know because I had a d&c. I would go to the doctor and let them tell you for sure.

Had mine in 2009. Found out I was pregnant in April. I was about 12 weeks along at the end of July when I had my MC. About a week before the MC my breasts stopped being sensitive and sore. It started out with very light menstrual cramping during the night. The next day i went to work as usual but the cramping kept getting more and more intense. I went to the bathroom when I got to work and I was having some bleeding, not just spotting but not super heavy yet. I ended up deciding to try to wait out the day and see if it was just my imagination (i was in denial). But almost half way through I ended up leaving work and driving to my DFs house. Luckily he just lived down the street B/c at that point I was having full blown contractions and could not drive properly. Once he was in the car and driving I called my mom and let her know what was going on. She met us at her house and there she called my dad to meet us at the hospital.

We got to the hospital. I was crying. My mom was crying. I was in a lot of pain but its all pretty fuzzy at this point. They took me into a room to get a trans vaginal US. (I went to the bathroom before they started to change and I saw the bleeding had stopped so i seriously convinced myself everything was fine at this point). My DF says he was in the room with me but I dont remember him being there at all. I remember feeling really alone and scared. During the US I didn't hear anything. I looked over and you could see the sac but you couldnt see the baby. There was a blob at the bottom of the sac (not sure if that would have been the baby or the placenta).

Anyway the nurse didnt say anything. (At least I didnt hear her say anything. My DF said she told us there was no HB). We went back to a regular exam room where my mom was waiting. They took my blood. Then the doctor came in and told me I was having a threatened MC (which is BS, a threatened MC is when the see a HB but you are having symptoms of a MC). and that they didnt see a HB. I completely broke down by this point. Just utterly broken. Numb. Dazed and confused.

We left the hospital with orders that I should take it easy. DF and I went back to my moms house and my mom went back to work. My dad went home (he stayed in the waiting room the whole time). The pain became greater and greater. By this point I didnt care about anything and wanted some pain medication. So we called around since the doctor hadnt given me anything. We found a person to buy some pks and weed from. (definitely not my finest moment but im being honest here). Went and pick that up. Got back to the house. By this point I kept feeling like I needed to pee. So I went to the BR. I passed 3-4 large blood clots. Then I passed the fetus and sac all in one. (called my mom she told me not to flush it so we could show the doctor and make sure it was all of it).

Then the placenta. All pretty much came out on its own. And the bleeding by this point was heavy. very heavy. The contractions lasted a few days. The bleeding lasted about 10-14 days. I had about 5 days of nothing then I got my period. Kinda feels good to write this all out. Even though I was severely traumatized I have pretty much come to terms with it now.

So i am not sure if what you had was a MC. How big was the tissue? Like I said mine all came out in one piece and it was about the size of a small orange, sac and all. Plus how many is a few weeks before this happened? I would think that the bleeding would have lasted longer than a day etc. Could you still be pregnant? I would go to your OB and have them do a transvaginal US. See if you had a MC or if you are pregnant. Either way there could be treatment you need to receive. So better to be safe then sorry. GL

Ah Damnit! You all are right, that sounds like more Implantation bleeding. Heres the problem, I don't WANT to be pregnant. Gah I hope I'm not. I never wanted to handle a 1 year old while pregnant. I want to wait till shes about 3 and likes the idea of "mommys little helper"

Ya it will be hard to have two babies so close together if you are pregnant again. Just think though you would have about 8 more months until LO got here. So by then your oldest would be 2 or almost 2. If you talk about baby enough (or maybe even buy her a baby doll) You can get her excited to still be mommys little helper! Lol

GL let us know what you find out when you go to the doctor!

I had one mc at about 14 weeks. I bled heavily and the pain was almost as bad as labor. I already had a pregnancy dx, but my levels were falling. I remember passing a lot of clots with bits of tissue. My hcg levels fell, they did a vaginal ultrasound and everything had passed. I agree with pp it sounds more like implantation bleeding.

I miscarried at 6 to 7 weeks and it hurt like a period on steroids. And then after the miscarriage a regular period followed immediately. It was lots of bleeding. Lots of very painful cramps and some clots of tissue.
